2021 was the year of unexpected happenings from the very beginning. The effects of the ongoing pandemic, America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and the global repercussions are still felt across the globe. But honestly, 2021 was way better than 2020. We have lots of ideas and goals for the new year. Isn’t it also important to know the predictions for the year 2022 by the famous French astrologer Nostradamus? Though he predicts worrying events for the year, everyone is curious to know his predictions before the year begins. This seer proves to be accurate with his predictions like the rise of Adolf Hitler, the assassination of the former U.S President John F Kennedy and a few terror attacks. This list also includes war, drought and battles.

Michel de Nostredame, well known as Nostradamus was born in Provence in 1503. He is best known for his book The Prophecies that he wrote in 1555. His works have been widely interpreted as predictions and most of them have come true. His Prophecies are his greatest feat predicting the contemporary future. The predictions of this popular Prophet extend up to the year 3797.  Let’s now look at his predictions for the upcoming year. 

METEOR STRIKE AND ASTEROID SHOWER

A meteor shower is a celestial event that had been expected since 2021 is likely to happen in 2022. He has written about a long trail of fire sparks in the sky. This would strike the earth which could cause a lot of damage to the planet. Meteor strike not only causes this fire strike but will also create tremors in the ocean leading to tsunami and earthquakes. 

As many of the meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the surface of Earth. Very intense and unusual meteor showers, known as meteor outbursts or meteor storms, enter the Earth at high speed. This storm seems to happen in the upcoming year as per the Nostradamus predictions. 

“Fire do I see that from the sky shall fall”

INFLATION AND STARVATION

Nostradamus also predicts the value of the U.S dollars. His book ‘The Prophecies’ reveals that the value of the U.S dollar would collapse. People would consider Gold, Silver and Bitcoins as assets and invest in the same. The recent pandemic caused a profuse effect on the world’s economy which seems to continue in 2022 too as per his predictions.  Nostradamus stated,

“No abbots, monks, no novices to learn;

Honey shall cost far more than the candle-wax”

“So high the price of wheat,

That man is stirred

His fellow man to eat in his despair”

No wonder if 2022 turns out to be a year of hunger and people suffering.

AI TAKING OVER

The last few decades have marked a tremendous growth in technology that has resulted in many advanced developments. Though several experts have warned on technology addictions, especially on relying much on robots, Artificial intelligence seems to rise in the upcoming year. This will take over the manpower with its implications from smart speakers to self-driving cars. 

While Artificial Intelligence can drive down a lot of time, it can’t replace Human Beings. Let’s wait and watch how the predictions of this seer on AI taking over would unfold.

GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is more evident with drastic climate change over the past few decades. It is threatening the people with scarcity, flooding, extreme temperature and economic loss. Nostradamus’s prediction on Global Warming is a warning sign, as it could reach a breaking point. If that happens, people might suffer for even basic needs in some parts of the world.

Global warming would lead to the death of coral reefs, exploitation of natural habitats and aquatic life globally.  

The Prophecies says, 

“ Like the sun the head shall seal the shining sea:

The black sea’s living fish shall all but boil.

When Rhodes and Genoa 

Half-starved shall be 

The local folk to cut them up shall toil.”

INVASION OF FRANCE

All the predictions of Nostradamus prove to be vague and this is no exception. No proper timelines can be given to these predictions as they are based on astrological events. Nostradamus has predicted war in the European countries, where France already has a war threat. This may lead to the rise of World War 3 which is horrifying. 

“ Blue-head shall white-head

Harm to such degree

As France’s good to both shall e’er amount”

Conclusion

Whether we believe in these predictions or not, there is a correlation between the major historical events and the Nostradamus predictions. Most of them are about the negativities to happen. He has also predicted a nuclear bomb blast, climatic changes and the death of a famous leader. 

Besides all this, let’s have hope for the new year that’s about to bring new beginnings to life. Let’s have a rocking year ahead.
